London.--Ne jeb 1s too weird if a 'man in Jonden who makes his liveli- 'hood out of a punch-proof face. He is an ex-light weight champion attach: ed to a West End nnasium where, at the age of fifty-six, he acts as a king of human punch-ball. Few people can stand a flush hit to the face, even when the striker wears heavy boxing-gloves. This wcnderful SeMow makes nothing of a full smash .on the.jaw from a man half as big again as himself. He merely grins. Johannesburg, greatest of gold cities, has a population of nearly 150, 000 black men, most of whom are em- ployed in the mines, If one of these gets into trouble, whether as a result of beating his neighbor over the head with a knobkerrie or merely commit- ting petty larceny, off he goes to Mlamaulankunzi, Curing M.P.'s of Shyness This gentleman's real name is Gra- ham Ballenden. Officially, he is Dir- ector of Native Affairs for the City; actually, the natives regard him as their white father, and believe him to be the person who will take the blame for all their crimes and misdemean- ours, ¥M he does not quite do that he does the next best thing, *His native name mean- Peace-Maker, and *he does, in fact, act as mediator between black men and white. It is no joke being father to 150,000 blacks, as as Mr, Bal- Jendon says himself, it is a twenty- four-hour job. The House of the Nine Books is in Chelsea, and is the home of Mme. d'Esterre, a lady whose pupils are politicians and M.P.'s, whom she cures in a few lessons of shy .ess, hesita- tion, or stage fright. More than that, she teaches them how to speak. In Japan crowds still gather around the professional story-teller. English people rarely become proficient in Japanese, which is a most difficult language, yet one of the most cele brated of Japanese story-tellers is an Englishman named Black, whose knowledge of the language is so per- fect and his wit so brilliant that he is . ore popular in Tokio than most na- "tive professionals. « Their Secret Art Violins and 'celli belonging to well- ¥nown players are usually very valu- able and heavily insured. There are a few men in this country--perhaps six in all--who make a living as in- strument porters." These are so well known and so dependable that a great artist will trust one of them to take his $5000 violin from London to Edin- burgh, if need be. Naturally, they are well paid for their services. 'We all know that the United States holds most of the world's stocks of gold and silver, There are vaults at the Philadelphia Treasury which con- tain millions in minted dollars. The coins are kept in bags, each holding one thousand dollars, It is said that there are only two men in the world who thoroughly understand the art of piling these dollar bags ceiling high so that there is no risk of their falling. A man named Toughill originally in- vented the method of piling these bags safely, and before he retired he took a pupil, who, in turn, taught the secret to another man. Thus, there are al- ways two men, and two only, who can d> this particular job. An important job, for the bags are very heavy, and it they fell someone would probably get badly hurt, ---- rr: An Eton Garden On Sunday morning after chapel 1 was invited to visit a certain charm- ng and spacious Fton garden--in- vited thither, and not a little flatter- to be invited, by its owner and créat- or, a master of high and venerable standing in the school. © His garden was very remarkable. It lay apart from the houses and the street, gecluded in an unaccountable net- work oi branching streams; for the Thames at. this point scatters itself into several meandering channels, willow-shafled waterways that coil and twist and are gathered again into a great weir-stream that washes Fel low's Eyot and- the playing fields; and on one of thc broad island: patches between the water and the water this beautiful gavden lay. re- mote, a place of green alleys and vine trellises and rose-beds of trim bor- ders and shaven turf, of orchards and wildernesses and 'glowing flower- drifts in the meadow-grass. The hand of a garden-lover had fashion- ed the whole of it, fiom the breadth of the open lawn in the midst to the deepened shadow of the further Te- cesses--and a hand, moreover, that draws back and is stayed at the right point where the loose spring-flower- tng of the meadow and the river bank, left to itself, slips from under the fringe of the garden. and rambles away in freedom. It 1s an enchant. ing place to visit on the first Sunday morning of June, especially when you dre feeling rather proud of the invita- tion offered you in stern but friend- ly tones. The owner of the garden leads you round, grimly pointing out its failures and shortcomings, the flowers that won't come up, and the weeds that won't stay down. ., .. .| But there is a kingfisher; it 1s nest- ing In the steep earthy bank that faces the little hornbeam close and "the bathing ladder.

She added a line about divorce papers, signed, sealed and addressed the letter, and crossed the hall to his dressing-room. He'd find it when he came home to dress for din- ner--another of those poisonous din- ners at the 'Hillsons'. How she hated them! The soppy inanities of Laura Hillson, the rot about the younger generation, the shares market talk, and Wally's heavy wisdom about the need for calm conservatism. Calm conservatism!

He gave her all the money she could use. . All she could waste had been Jim Dorris- ton's proposition. She opened her husband's dressing- table drawer, disturbing the order ly arrangement of its contents--club cards, golf scores, keys and the load- ed service automatic he had ased in France. She put the letter in be- side it and, in so doing, touched the cold steel of the dull barrel For a moment she stood motion- less. Then, slowly withdrawing the letter, she went to the window and flung it open. A tiny breeze was enough to brace her courage and steel her resolve, She laughed aloud. "Wally Jo anything rash? What a chance!" she assured herself. "No, Wally will be his own conservative self." Returning to his dressing table, she leaned the letter against the mirror. Then, going to her room, she threw on her coat and closed her bag. The ball clock was striking five as she let herself out of the flat.

He really be- lieved they had brought him his good fortune "on 'Change." They'd actually been worta a quarter of a million to him, he insisted, great big superstitions baby that he was. "Don't leave Wally my luck," he had pleaded. "I'll pay him twice what the pearls are worth, and that goes for the diamonds, too." She had brought both. Jim could post the cheque from the boat.
